In linux.kernel you write:

> SCSI host #1 : NCR810 with 2 internal hard disks connected
> SCSI host #2 : AHA1542 with internal cdrom, tape and
> optinal external devices (hot swappable! ;)

>now I'd like only to load the aha1542 driver via kerneld when I'm going

You can't - at least, the kernel currently does not recognize that there
is a need to invoke kerneld under these circumstances. So short of
hacking the kernel SCSI code, you are out of luck. Either load the module
manually, or build both drivers into your kernel.

It is even documented in the kerneld mini-HOWTO. Therefore, it
is not a bug.
